> The article takes a surprised tone that doctors haven’t updated their practices in line with the latest studies This isn't "new research" or the "latest study", this is now established scientific consensus. > Doctors don’t get their orders direct from science, they follow the practices of their peers and network. New knowledge percolates slowly and conservatively through that network. This is indeed part of the problem. Doctors should get knowledge of new practices from medical school or CME, not haphazardly through gossip. As noted in the article, medical scools don't teach very much about concussions and clearly our new understanding of concussion treatments are not being dispersed with sufficient speed by CME. We need to hold our medical system to higher standards, not give them a pass because the broken parts have been broken for a while.
